When I first heard Shawn Mendes around 2 years ago, the time he debuted “Life of the Party”, he reminded me very much of Justin Bieber. His voice has the same flavor, youth and coldness of the star that sold out at that time.
I think the difference between …

Getting Smaller, a song by Nine Inch Nails for their record With Teeth, is quite an aggressive song and certainly strikes me as one of Reznor’s better songs, at least for this record at least. Getting Smaller is a pretty straightforward track which wastes no time getting into the …

I was never really into Reggae as a genre of music but if I was ever to get into it then the legendary Bob Marley would serve as my personal entry point. All the more fitting I thought then, that his first album I would get is entitled —˜Legends’.

Lateralus is an unrelenting journey into the psyche of originality.Their expression is so beyond words that it’s quite humbling trying to find decent adjectives,nouns, or verbs to piece together to form a description.This music is cerebral, profound, and full of artistic vision.This band succeeds at truly experimenting with sonic …

The rock band U2’s album, The Joshua Tree, is a spectacular moment in music. The Joshua Tree has songs that reach our heart, yet they are not preachy or boring. Bono, the lead singer of U2, wears his heart on his sleeve for this particular album. The Joshua Tree …

I believe in getting the compilations of the individual albums from the artists, they are better than the individual albums. The best assortments come with the “Best Of” series. Now this collection has the very well known tracks from Randy Crawford from Give Me The Night to Everything Must …

Overview - Wake Of The Flood, the sixth effort by The Grateful Dead, departs from the more folk and country rock that was found on Workingman’s Dead and on American Beauty but still does not venture back into the psychedelic sound they once had. The music still does have …
